Social Media: A space for the crude and the refined personalities

Technology has created a platform for easy actualization of tasks over the years, and it has added value to mankind with its ability to work faster than human energy could actualize per time. It created an awareness of easy interactions amongst people which is clearly seen as the social media sphere.

As much as the public craves for technology usage,It has however exposed the status, believes,  culture, etiquette, mannerisms, appreciation of beauty, and the opposite of its possessors, social media platform as an example. When social media is said,  we refer to the twitter, Facebook, BBM, WhatsApp, Instagram, 2go, and other related to the stated. The idea of all these applications is to connect the world, and not just a sect which is seen in the public's sphere theory by Jurgen Herbamas of how some are seeing at the coffee shop to discuss public germane issues. Taking a step further,  it is clearly seen that social media has reflected the true worth of each personality that familiarize themselves with the new information, communication technology and their take on public issues.
On each piece written by a participant, people often ignore the piece and move further to 'like' the razzmatazz, paparazzi of photographs posted. The illumination is that,  people in most cases choose to appreciate the colourful life over the importance of a discourse posted on walls, and the spaces. This appreciation of photographs has in large measure contributed to competition amongst some participants on the social media platform. My case as an example; I posted a piece accompanied by a photograph on Facebook, surprisingly, I got more than 30 likes for the photograph, and less than 14 likes for the piece, simplifies that people are interested in my looks than what I have to offer.

There are two personality categories identified according to a research done. We have the crude and the refined on the platform, and these two  sets have succeeded in their own bit. The refined are the ones that see the space as expression of their true form, without no injection of ego, but some level of objectivity,  while some that are referred to be the crude  are the ones that hide their true colours under picture collage, and project what the public want to know and not what they should know. Hypocrisy has taken over the media,  and what evolves is a fake identity painted to be the true identity of such individuals.

Social media has created the connection,  it would be an act of ingratitude to say its advent has polluted the generation on earth, but it should be addressed that the inappropriate usage of social media by the public is the issue to be tackled. Social media has turned to a market place where we have things of different grades, levels, sizes, figures misrepresented to be human,while the true humans are of  no relevance.
